After a Sunday of rest, Cucine Lube Civitanova returned to the gym this afternoon to resume athletic training. The Italian champions, who have been at work since August 18, will play on Thursday 8 September (warm-up starts at 4.15 pm) the first of the four joint training sessions at home, open doors, scheduled for the 2022/23 preseason calendar.

Still in reduced ranks and with the reinforcement of some youth athletes, in addition to the presence of the former cook Osmany Juantorena, the red and white will cross paths with Videx Grottazzolina, a newly promoted team from the Marche in Serie A2 Credem Banca. The first remnants of volleyball played at the Eurosuole forum after the postponement to September 14 (warm-up at 15) of the test match initially scheduled last Saturday with the Med Store Tunit Macerata, Serie A3 club.

In the middle of the week, the new Brazilian middle blocker Isac Viana Santos is expected to arrive in Italy for medical examinations. In the meantime, his teammate Enrico Diamantini returned to the group for an afternoon of technique with his teammates at the palas after the discomfort in his left thigh that had forced him to some differentiated work sessions in recent days. However, until Saturday 10 September, the loads in the weight room will be considerable and the athletics sessions will be very intense (Tuesday 6 and Friday 9 September). Then, gradually, more and more space will be left to work with the ball.
